Cork flooring
Submitted by Dan_9 on Sun, 2015-07-05 16:54
Hey guys. I'm hoping Someone has some info on cork flooring for boats. I'm redoing my floor in my leeder 710 super sports over winter and was looking at the cork flooring instead of carpet. Does anyone have it, know who does it and what it's worth?
Cheers guys

Got it in a house I owned
Got it in a house I owned once ,never again looks good, nice on bare feet . High heals punch holes in it and if you drop anything heavy and sharpe it will damage, never again.
Don't no about using it in boats (could be totally different product) for all I no

Marine Deck
I have a composite cork deck on my boat called Marine Deck. It is excellent - I would put it in any boat I have in the future.
Stays relatively cool, doesn't get slippery even when wet, and is very comfortable to stand on all day in bare feet. It also washes easily.

Love my cork deck
Mine is also the composite cork.
Incredibly durable, washes easily and looks great. It was installed on my boat before i bought it so can't help with distributor or costs.

One day I hope to replace the boat picture I am using with one of a decent fish...One day...

the right cork floors are
the right cork floors are worth the investment but its the cost of the ivestment that hurts the product is pricey but its the prep that kills ya depending on ya boat its not as simple as carpet or just chucking board on ya floor

Cheers lads. The actual floor
Cheers lads. The actual floor itself is getting replaced so should be able to do all the correct prep work then.
Any my help with suppliers or a company that does it would be awesome

Marine deck 2000 is very expensive and will stain with oils etc, It also fades over time.
Flexiteek seems to have better reviews and heaps cheaper but its hard to get ahold of. You'll be looking at around $900m2 laid.
SeaDek is another alternative thats a fair bit cheeper again.

I'm not that impressed with
I'm not that impressed with seadek. Feels great under your feet but staines and marks quite easily and eskys dragged around the boat will tear it up.
Probably best left to skiboats.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
